BeakerX is a collection of JVM kernels with widgets, plotting, tables, autotranslation, and other extensions to the Jupyter Notebook and Jupyter Lab. BeakerX is in alpha, with major features still under development and refactorings and incompatible changes. This is true despite our previous stable releases up to version 1.7.1 because BeakerX has a whole new architecture based on Jupyter, whereas the previous releases were an independent application, Beaker Notebook. You could think of BeakerX as Beaker Notebook 2.0, and this transition is not yet complete. Feedback and advice on how to best complete this process is very welcome.

• oracle Java8 JDK
• npm, bower, webpack
• conda

conda create -y -n beakerx python=3.5 jupyter pandas
source activate beakerx
./gradlew --no-daemon build
./gradlew --no-daemon kernelInstall
./gradlew --no-daemon :beakerx:install
pip install -e .
python -m beaker.install --enable --prefix="${CONDA_PREFIX}"
jupyter notebook

Ther kernels are installed to run out of the repo, so just a build should update the java code.

• ./gradlew build

• cd beakerx/js; webpack

python -m bkr2ipynb *.bkr

We welcome developers to extend and improve BeakerX in ways that can benefit everyone. In order for us to accept your code or pull request, we need for you to fill out and email back to us a scan of a signed copy of the Contributor License Agreement.

The kernel is originally derived from https://github.com/lappsgrid-incubator/jupyter-groovy-kernel, but has been rewritten in Java and refactored and expanded. The Java support uses Adrian Witas' org.abstractmeta.toolbox.
